Event: MREPC Fashion Show 2013

So last Saturday was Malaysia Rubber Export Promotion Council (MREPC) Fashion Show 2013 at Malaysia International Commodity Conference and Showcase (MICCOS) 2013 . Jacq and her entire class from Saito College was involve with this event. The fashion show theme was Rubber Wonderland and they had to make clothes out of rubber materials. The materials that were used were rubber bands, trash bags, condoms (YES CONDOMS!) and rubber pipe thingy.

We left the house at 8ish in the morning.

Was like zombie when we reached at the location.

It was somewhere near Mines.

Took us about 30minutes to reach there.

FYI there is about 300+ pictures here.

So it's gonna be a long post of the event :)

In the hall, everything was set up so nicely.

So apparently they had made the KLCC statue out of CHOCOLATE.

and yes, I know I look like a zombie.

Had less than 4 hours of sleep all thanks to the benefit party + supper

So we arrived at the scene by 9am and the fashion show only starts at 2pm

Daddy and I decided to check out the entire hall.

Guess what we saw at the end of the hall?!

They had those electric scooter thingy.

one of those range from RM20K-40K

They allowed us to ride on it to have a feel of it.

The fastest speed i went was at 20km/h.

It was fun la, but kinda scary because the scooter would move forward if

you push your body forward.

If you want it to stop, you just had to stand straight.

Then to turn, you just had to focus your weight on the side of the direction you

wanna turn to.

And to go backwards, just lean back.

They also had a scooter made for police

Not sure how the police can make use of this since it's too slow

to use during a chase for the bad guys.

Maybe they can only use this to inspect and area or

when they are handling out samans on the road.

haha

After 2 hours, both the designers and models arrive

They had some interesting deco up around the fashion show.

Guess what did they use? :P

It's none other than condoms!

Can't imagine how long it took them to finish placing all of them on the balls.

okay that sounded wrong.

Anyways, it was a few more hours to the show

and the models got their hair and make up done

Jacq and her friends.

This MICCOS was an ongoing event where they have all kinds of activities

happening at different halls.

So at the hall I was at, the theme was sustainability,

hence the rubber fashion show.

They even had Master Chef outside of the hall.

It was packed with people everywhere.

Shutter buses were available for people to use to bring them to their next hall.

DJ Kanji was the dj of the event

Before the fashion show was about to start,

there were a group of people drawing.

Guess their theme was palm oil?

Awesome all of it gave me goosebumps,

they were so good!

Wonder what's the prize for the winners :P

Oh at the fashion show,

they had a jar full of malaysian condoms for free

Guess they wanted everyone to be protected and

realise that malaysia is one of the biggest supply for condoms.

close up picture of it.

After waiting for 5 hours at the hall,

it finally started!

It was a full house!

This outfit ought to be the most conventional

as it the only outfit in the fashion show that was wearable

in our daily life :D

Design 17

It looks like some rubber pipe thing.

The model didn't bother walking all the way down the aisle.

Guess the dress was a little hard to walk it.

That was the last of the fashion show!

The models then came out again with their designers.

Try and guess which design won?!

It was Design 17 (first), Design 16 (third) & Design 15 (Second)

Its funny how during the fashion show they were all side by side.

Coincidence? haha

was running around the place. haha.
